The Foodbarn

They say: The food is civilised without being pretentious, that is to say it has natural taste, smells and textures, and much character. What is paramount is that it is prepared with respect, savvy and love - then, it is the right food for us to eat. Franck: "Pete and I own this place; it is our hard earned cash that is invested here. At the same time, we are also motivated by spending time with our families. I want to train my team to become passionate about food... they are keen to learn". Pete: "Walking through The Foodbarn, enjoying my guests company, and being a great host is when I am happiest".

Parker Cottage Guesthouse says: This is not a small venue and it’s not simply a restaurant either. Pete is the cordon bleu, Franck is the bare foot chef, (an escapee from corporate live) and between them, they and do everything from cooking demos to events to a deli and restaurant fare all under one roof. Expect down to earth food in a just-walked- from-the-beach style and you’ll be very pleasantly surprised. Noordhoek is 20 minutes from Cape Town so rather make this a lunch stop.
